Top 3 power cord for DAC

The best I have tried so far are the Z-Cable Cyclone, JPS Labs Kaptivator, and the Harmonix X-DC. The Harmonix was best on my tubed DAC, but not on the SS DAC. The Cyclone is best on a Northstar Extremo DAC, and the Kaptivator best on an Oppo SE player with the digital and analog sections separated, each with their own powercord.

So far, I don't prefer silver wired cords, but I've only heard three out of probably thirty good ones on the market.

Hello Smofatt,

I finally got around to getting another Nordost Valhalla for my EMM DAC-2. OMG!!! This was my reaction awhile back when I first put them on my mono-block amps and my preamp. It had been a few years and I kind of took for granted the improvement they made to my system.

2-1/2 weeks ago when I added another Valhalla PC to my DAC I re-lived that wonderful experience. Hope you find a PC you feel does the same for your system.

best,
Tom

I played my MBL setup with a lot of esoteric power cables.
Settled on a BMI Hammerhead gold mk4 on the MBL 1621A transport and BMI Oceanic statement on the MBL 1611F dac. Simply incredible resolution and realism that I have been searching for. The tranparency and speed is just amazing and perfectly matched with the BMI cables.

The best power cable for a DAC that I experienced was the NBS Active 2.
